In 10 days I can pick up my Glock 17. Horrible thing about California is the 10 shot capacity. I held a large number of pistols. Debated between 9mm, 10mm, .40 and .45 but ultimately wanted something affordable and fun to shoot but also good in case of SHTF.
I didn't realize there was a Glock 45 out there which is the hybrid between the 17 and the 19. The 19 was too small in my hands and felt front heavy b/c of the shorter grip.
It will be my first pistol after owning a number of shotguns and .22lr rilfes.
I know Glock gets a bad rap sometimes b/c of rap songs always singing about them and what not. But just holding it, feeling it, seeing how easy it is to use it won. Beretta was 1B for me...super close.
I know 9mm won't "knock a man down" or anything but I also have buckshot 12ga if it comes to that scenario.
I'm guessing you were being 75% sarcastic too btw
35k of those are suicides.
If you “need” a 15 round mag, you need shooting lessons, not a bigger mag….
I have a few rifles, and I inherited my Dads military issue .45. But all for home defense. Thanks to a shit liberal Mayor shit has gone off really bad the last few years in the city. It reminds me of the 80s when I was younger but worse because Cops are not allowed to really handle things properly anymore. No repercussions, no bail etc. Now I have a few variations of this for protection:
Mine is a grey area as it has functions. Key chain, and has a nub off the end to touch buttons. It is marketed as anti germ safety lol.
- The law might not like it if you used it to commit a crime but if you get to the point where you need it for protection then who cares about the legality at that point. You are fearing for your life.
My point exactly. By the time help arrives, that thing can be disposed of as well. My primary focus is to strike and retreat....get out to safety. Recently there have been "sucker punchers"....Young strong dudes throwing Haymakers at normal people just because. Gotta keep your head on a swivel.Ahhhh.....I like it

Having owned multiple glocks and one 1911 you run the risk of being a sissy and limp wristing the .45 leading to jams.
